We attended a wedding last night, and everything was flawless. The Hall was beautifully decorated, and the food was very tasty and in very generous portions. But what truly shined was the customer service. Very attentive to each table's needs and friendly, the Chef even came out to check on the tastiness of the meal, that was a special touch. The wedding was beautiful and the lay out of the facility was perfect. Great job! read more

Patrician Banquets - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Schererville, Indiana

I wish I could give them zero stars. I attended my godson's wedding on October 13, 2018 and was appalled. My daughter and I have food allergies and my godson took this into account. He tried to work with the facility, but they said they only had one option...but it was also something we are allergic too. We thought they were going to work something out in the months before the wedding, but when it came time to eat dinner, we were offered nothing. No food we could eat except the green beans. What made it worse was that the serving personnel couldn't care less. They had attitude. Said they would check on things and never came back then got snappy when we followed up. They said they would send someone out, but no one came. The chef apparently came out to all the tables to check on things, but not about us specifically. We were seated at the mother of the groom's table. Next to the father of the groom's table and the parent's of the bride's table. We were the very last to be served. They served the room, starting at the outer, furthest from the head table. The bar tender was extremely rude. Yes, the bar was closed, but we had a kid who needed something to drink. She did end up serving the pop, but did so with anger. On tables of 10 people, they had one pitcher of water and refilled it once only. For the whole night. And this was NOT just our table. NO tables had more than one refill on the one pitcher. To top it off no one was attending the bathrooms. The trash cans were overflowing and there were no towels for your hands by 10:00 and we had the room until 12. The men's bathroom was apparently worst. I absolutely would not suggest this to anyone. Classless. read more

Wonderful banquet spot with very good food that's homemade comfort food with very good flavo. Service is very good and faculty is well kept.

Horrible Customer service!! WOULD NOT recommend this place at all!! I should not have had to chase staff for things I PAID for on this day. 1. My wedding coordinator for the tables was supposed to be allowed in the hall anytime after 9am to begin decorating. No one showed up to open the doors until after 10am and we tried calling with no answer. And this was all after Chris had told us when we first came in that since we only had a few tables he would throw in the centerpieces for nothing and "his girls" (meaning the girl employees) would make something look very nice to go with my colors and at the last payment I was informed we could only use vases and mirrors but had to fill them ourselves. I had asked Chris if he needed to put it on the contract and he said no. Probably should have made him do it. 2. At final payment I asked about gravy with our pork and dressing and was told you have NEVER served gravy and when I mentioned it was on your menu, she grabbed a menu to look and said "looks like you will be getting gravy" Thankfully we had gravy. I also had to remind her that 2 of the kids were free and 3 were half price because her email for the final payment was way off. 3. There was NOTHING on the marquee as we discussed and NOTHING inside with the picture I had sent you that we discussed either. Very disappointing because I informed my photographer to make sure to get a picture of it. 4. The iced tea and lemonade were supposed to be ON the tables when guests arrived and all we had was water. I had to ask for the tea twice and Rose said she put a pitcher on the 2 kids tables and 3 on the bar with a bowl of ice because we only paid for 5 pitchers and there were 8 tables which I then informed her I PAID for a pitcher for ALL 8 of the tables which I really should not have had to do since with the rules for the pandemic should have accommodated me having to get the extra tables and I wanted the lemonade on the tables. We also did not get any tea or lemonade on the HEAD table until dinner was coming out!!! This should ALL have been on the tables when we got there. 5. Air conditioning was at a minimal and very hot and uncomfortable. I had asked Rose to please adjust it and even after that we had to ask again until it was taken care of. I would have thought knowing we had a group of guests it would have already been cool when we arrived. 6. I had 5 children at table 1...they served them LAST!!!! Any table with children should have been served first!! That was very unacceptable!! 7. My friends and husband had to disassemble the cake table after I had asked Rose to have it moved so we could have our first dance and 20 mins went by and nothing was done so they helped take care of it so we could dance. And NONE of YOUR employees came to take over even though we were doing their job!!! 8. Had to pay for the additional 4 guests, especially with us having to shut down early with the riots and looting happening nearby...bad form on your part. You would not have even known we had more if I had not said anything....This could have been waived. AND, I had to chase Rose down and remind her which she said "oh I forgot all about it". I could have just left but I did not....but she could have waived it with all the troubles we had gone through as well. 9. When emailed about my disappointments, they never even picked up the phone to talk. They emailed back saying they would have a mandatory meeting and get back to me and 2 weeks later, I have not heard anything from them!! Not surprised!! Even had one email from them and they called me Kathy....really!!! Terrible communication!! Fortunately, my day went well but it was not because of you and your hall, it was because of my amazing family and friends who made it that way. My hall was decorated beautifully because of them and they took care of making sure my frustrations did not get the best of me because of your mistakes and negligence on all I have listed above. Very disappointed with the way the staff here handled things. read more

I am currently here for my cousin's wedding and it is 10:10. They have the hall booked until 10:30 pm and I believe that it is highly unprofessional and unwelcoming for them to break the table down while we are still here. It's like they are trying to rush us out of here. I also want to add they they have been at it for the past hour. I will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I have been to many parties at The Patrician. It is the nicest hall in da Region. The ladies room (we girls judge by the ladies) has lovely sinks and faucets. I'm impressed with the china. It's not the plain, chunky white stuff most halls sport. The bar always uses glasses, not tackey plastic. And the drinks are not watered down! Chef Dave does a great job with the food. I especially like his fried chicken and Alfredo pasta If you're planning an event in NWI, this is the place to have it! read more

Wow! What a place. Scheduled our 45th reunion brunch there last Sunday - and the room is beautiful! Linen tablecloths with beautiful centerpieces. The tables were set and our area was ready! Staff were there immediately to discuss and adjust to the numbers. The Mimosa bar was out of this world! $2 extra, with 8 juices or more - I had two because the pomegranate blueberry juice was so good! The buffet started with fruit and pastry, a sweet grit with berries, a lox and bagel platter that had more stuff on it than I've seen before - and I grew up on them! The hot buffet was lovely - eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon cooked to perfection - chewy and not fatty, sausage... creme brûlée french toast. A waffle stand with wonderful mascarpone cheese and the fruit toppings. Omelets and crepes to order. Hot coffee and ta da! Truly the best brunch I can recall. More than I've mentioned and so reasonable! read more

Oh yes, they give you the easy button. From Chef Larry to ownership to support crew, and logistics the experience is smooth and simple. The ease and organization of executing an event and pride in service makes this an easy choice for a banquet style celebration. The entire facility is clean and organized and the food is magnifico. Definitely worth putting on your short list for halls in the 60 mile radius of Scherervile, IN. read more

We had our sons MS benefit at the Patrician on April 22, 2017. We had a crowd of 265 completely satisfied people who attended. We cant thank them enough for their beautiful hall, the excellent food, the staff, the set up and most of all the extended help by Jackie Hernandez for all our needs. She was so professional & fantastic to work with for planning the event! Everything went wonderful and our benefit was a great success! I would highly recomnend The Patrician for your event Linda Witkowski read more

Be ware! Be very careful with new Management Dream Vision Eventz. Please pay close attention to most reviews as they are from 3 years ago when it was Managed by Patrician Banquets or someone else other than Dream Vision Eventz. This review today is from April 9, 2022. We booked this place for Saturday April 9th for my sons birthday. If you are offered extra time to decorate to seal the deal for your event please make sure it's written in the agreement in detail because if not you're in for a big surprise. This is not true. After my horrific experience with Errica, I realized that in order to seal her deals she offers the hosts extra days or a week in advance to decorate for their event and it's not true. She's telling you this to seal the deal. Also, beware because every real business will ask for a 25% down and the final payment on the day of the event. Errica asks for half of the total as a non refundable deposit. Who's asks for half of the money up front? Someone who you can't trust because after you pay half of the money for an event she can lie to you, be late, do whatever she wants to make you cancel, but if you do you lose so much money. She offered us this extra time (to open the hall a week prior to the event to decorate) which sealed the deal for us, but she never had the intention in doing so. The Sunday before our sons birthday party we contacted her to ask when she'd open the hall for us which should have been Monday so that we could start decorating and she said she could open the hall Wednesday at 4 pm. We were not happy and worried at this point as it was not what she offered or told us before we paid her half of the total for the event. When someone does not keep their word or what they offered you from that point forward you know who you're dealing with. Also, on the days she says she will open the hall for you to decorate she will show up with her small children as an excuse to have leave soon or not be able to do any work. If your an event planner and you do this I'm sure you have a person to leave your kids with. If not you wouldn't be able to work. Wednesday was not here for her to open the hall for us and she text us stating that she was going to open at 5pm instead of 4 pm. We got there at 5pm and she didn't show up until 6:30 pm. She made us wait at the hall for an hour and a half in our car. She was not apologetic or said anything to us about being so late. Her attitude was (oh well, I'm opening up 3 days before the even and no one else does this). No other company lies to hosts who are going to pay a lot of money for a location telling them that they could decorate a week in advance just to get them to go with them and then not do it. To make matters worse she arrived with her small children a 6 month old and. 3 year old. She was rushing me and my husband out and we only had an hour or 2 Wednesday. Before we left we asked her when she would open Thursday and she said 5 pm. We are there at 5 pm and she didn't arrive until 6 pm. Friday she told us she's open at 3 and didn't open until 6 pm. She was never punctual and always changed the time scheduled to open the hall and always an hour late. She did not allow the extra days and flexibility that was offere to seal the deal. On the day of my sons birthday party Saturday April 9, 2019 she told us she'd be there at 10:am to open doors and decorate because she had not decorated or put anything up for us except chair covers and a few table covers. She was aware that other vendors would be there at 10 am however she 45 minutes late. We had several vendors witness how late she was on a day of an event who waited 45 minutes for Errica to get there and open so late. Unacceptable. The vendors walked in to see that on the day of an event there were missing table cloths, the floor was dirty, there were boxes of decorations all over the floor that Errica bough and had not put up. Errica then left at 11:30 am and told me she'd be right back. She said that she was going to go get what she needed for our party at home. She should have had anything she needed right then and not leave. She should have had our table covers and chair covers, play area and soft play, kids table all of it done prior to the day of the event. Yet on the day of event she still has to go home to pick this stuff up. She did not show up until 2:30 pm when the party was at 3 pm to do what she was paid to do. We have guests as witnesses that arrived at 3 pm to see Errica and her kids there putting up what she offered in our agreement to do. Event planners, party planners and anyone who offers this type of service are aware that they have to work around other people and should be able to work around others and be able to still do their job. The other vendors worked around one another and still did their job. Errica also went there to the hall 3 days prior and could have done her job then. They don't use the excuse that they can't do anything read more

I had my bridal shower and wedding there and it was really nice. The guests had said that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to! The outside was nice, we got married out at the gazebo there. The only thing I have to say is that it was warm out on that October day and lots of mosquitos were out. It would have been nice if they had mosquito lantens or those sticks out. But otherwise, it was great to get married out there. They let my sister later change her baby shower dates many times and try to accomodate her in every way so she did not lose her money. And the Lincioni catering is very good. I had a lot of compliments on the food as well. It was fantastic! read more

My husband and I just used the Patrician for our Wedding Ceremony and our Reception. We were happy with everything! The Patrician has a wonderful staff, great food, beautiful hall, and I can go on and on. My guests were very impressed with the servers and the bartenders. We used their Gazebo and it was perfect! I loved the fact if the weather was grim we had an option on having the ceremony inside the hall (which that help me relax). read more

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! The entire team at the Patrician is amazing! Jaci and Jill are extremely detailed oriented and it really shows! I felt at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process and they made the reception truly the easiest part! The reception went beautifully and my guests are still discussing how delicious the food was! The head chef even visited the tables to ensure our meal was perfect! I can not thank the entire team enough! Thank you for making my special day perfect!!! read more

Very disappointed with the poor quality of food and service for an Easter buffet. Simply awful. The vendor selling pictures and knockoff accessories in the hall was embarrassing. 130 dollars for 4 people. I don't mind paying when it is worth it. We will not be returning. read more

Wow! Went here for an event. Paid very good money. The food was simply embarrassing. Prime rib was unseasoned and over cooked but tolerable. It was served with frozen steamed vegetables - no salt, no pepper, no butter, just frozen crap you can buy at Aldi (don't you watch food network? It costs no more to steam some fresh veggies!) and a side of some kind of pasta noodle that was much like a Lipton side dish. This meal should make any cook/banquet manager/owner feel ashamed. If your repeat or referral business is down take a look at your awful food. read more

Beautiful location, spacious venues, amazing food, reasonable prices, Wonderful staff.

We attended a wedding reception at this venue this evening. There were approximately 300 guests. The room was elegantly decorated. The food was delicious and well prepared! The sirloin of beef with pesto stood out as did the roast chicken, which was juicy and well seasoned. The service was attentive and our table was frequently cleaned of used dishes and glassware. The chef even came out and checked on our experience. We had a great time! read more

I can't begin to say enough good things about this place! Not only is it a beautiful banquet hall, the staff is extremely accommodating, helpful and nice. The chef cooked delicious food for our event, we got so many compliments from our guests on how they liked the food. The event coordinators, Jaci and Jill and are so sweet to work with. They helped make our wedding day fantastic and the stress of planning fade away. I would recommend this place and their services to anyone looking to book a reception or even any type of bigger party! It will exceed your expectations. read more

Sorry it's a bit late, my wife and I had out reception here back in November, November 15, 2014 and we where honored to have this place as our hall. They did a wonderful job at taking care of us from the food to the drinks. Everyone had a good time. Great memories where created because of you guys and we will never forget them. Thanks again and continue to do the great job you always do! read more

We attended a wedding here. the food was delicious and the staff was great. Of special note were Karen and Peg behind the bar. They were efficient, friendly and fun. It was a great time. read more

We just had our parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary party at the Patrician and we could not have been happier! The food was the best I've ever had at a banquet hall and our guests were thrilled. The jumbo shrimp was a huge hit as an appetizer. We ordered one tray for 107 people; should have ordered two. Primarily, filet mignon was served and it was delicious! All the meals were delicious per our guests! And, the chef came out to greet our guests and to make sure they were satisfied! The place was beautifully decorated, clean, the staff was super accommodating. Best choice for northwest Indiana. We'll be back. read more

From the moment we first called on the phone, to our walking inside the office to meet with Jaci at The Patrician, and every day leading up to, and of course all day and night on our wedding day, we have nothing but Fantastic and Awesome things to say about our experience using The Patrician. Jaci and her entire staffs Friendliness, Professionalism, Flexibility, Attention to Details, and Over the top desire to want and to ensure our happiness and special day was perfect did not go unnoticed. Chef Harry and his delicious memorable cooking can be added with no hesitation to our satisfaction and appreciation to our experience using The Patrician Banquet Center. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the place is, how nice the staff was, how much they enjoyed the food, and what a great time they had. We also wanted to mention Jaci's creative idea's, decorating suggestions, and over the top job helping us with our Sweets Table was so much appreciated and we could not thank her enough. The Patrician is the best kept secret in Indiana but it shouldn't be one!! We highly recommend you check them out for your next event from something as small as a brunch or meeting to as big as a wedding you will not be disappointed. We give them 15 Stars, 10 Diamonds, and more!! read more

We hosted a memorial luncheon at Patrician banquet hall in Schererville, IN. From the first phone call to the minute we walked out the door after the function, the staff at this facility was top notch. Jill in the office was helpful in all the planning stages, from menu selection to hall set up. She made the decision making process so easy. The hall was beautifully set, and we were given ample time to add our personal touches. The day of the event, kitchen manager Dawn consulted with us about service expectations and that service was flawless. Our food was hot, plentiful and delicious. Many of our guests raved about the food, one commenting that it was the best she has ever had at a banquet hall! Kudos to chef Harry. Our bartender Pegi was exceptional, efficient and so personable. If you are looking for a place to hold an event, I would highly recommend this facility. You won't be disappointed. read more

I cannot recommend the Patrician Banquet Center and Jill enough. Jill was amazing and truly went above and beyond to make our wedding this past September perfect. I had zero issues/complaints with anything. She was easily accessibly and incredibly helpful every step of the day, from our first meeting to our wedding day. Beautiful hall, delicious food, and excellent service. Our guests had a wonderful time. Thank you, Jill!! read more

I love love love this place and the people!!!! We had our wedding here and I would not have changed a thing!!!! If I had the money I would have every birthday party and celebrate every holiday here! The people are so accommodating and the food is amazing. read more
